<0158>:: Wrong number of arguments supplied for forward reference 
    C:\euphoria\bin\ed.ex (547): function SyntaxColor.  Expected 2, but found 4. 
        color_line = SyntaxColor(this_line, ,get_multiline( bline - 1 ))

Welcome to ed/edx.ex hell...

Obviously you have a ed.ex/syncolor.e mismatch. Line 547 which you quoted from ed.ex appears to be from euphoria 4.1, but you appear to be referencing a 4.0 version of syncolor.e.

Check your eu.cfg files.

I seem to have managed a beta version of Linux which has renamed ed.ex as edx.ex which executes and auto-completes the "if then" block as expected.

However, I have never been able to get any version of ed/edx.ex to display multi-line quotes, double quotes, or single quote - tick marks correctly. It seems that a tremendous amount of effort has gone into adapting syncolor.e and developing tokenize.e - to no good end that I can tell. So, ed.ex has been renamed edx.ex and virtually abandoned. Kinda reminds me of an old movie in which the family members would beat the dog every time grandma farted.

I hope WEE.EX grows to includes the features you referenced. Linux user's best bet for an editor is Geany, or perhaps GVIM.

Yes!

And if there are no includes?

Yeah, I just tested out what I'd coded for wxBasic, and it's not nearly as clever as it should be about handling commas and embedded functions. Basically, I've coded it so that entering a ( causes it to be activated. It remembers the location of the parenthesis, and entering commas while it's active causes it to count the number of commas between the current position and the anchor, and then highlight that parameter in the tooltip.

As you noted, that approach could be a lot better, but it works fairly well for a quick hack.

Something else for autocomplete to eventually know about are include files. That's a long rabbit hole, but being able to specify a namespace such as:

   my_namespace: 

And have intellisense pop up will be really helpful. For example, I've got a lot of code that pretends it's a class by doing stuff like:

include "my_class.e" as my_class 
 
sequence instance = my_class:new() 
 
{instance, result} = my_class:some_call(instance) 
 
instance[my_class:SOME_ATTRIBUTE] = my_class:SOME_CONSTANT * 3 

Having the intellisense trigger on the : character to bring up public declarations from that namespace would make my life much easier.

But I figure that's a ways off, and a request for another thread.

I want you to know that I opened this and checked out the sources of EUPHORIA with it under Wine. Neat stuff I love the auto-complete feature. It's like watching an old favorite movie.

I remember the original Euphoria editor had parenthesis of different colors. Matching parenthesis would be the same color, the outer layer had black the next had some other color, and so on.

Likewise, I have been playing with WEE-012 under Wine and it is very impressive!

You are on a role, Pete! ~ Ken

Pete,

I have been using Euphoria 4.1 Beta under 64-bit Linux. Downloading and building the binaries was a relatively painless process. First, Download the *tar.gz file:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapideuphoria/files/Euphoria/4.1.0/euphoria-4.1.0-Linux-ix86-64.tar.gz/download

Then extract the files to your root directory - I used xarchiver, but you can extract the files from the command line of any terminal with:

tar -xzv -f euphoria-4.1.0-Linux86-64.tar.gz

Actually, I think the file I have linked includes the binaries, as well as the source code. You will need to edit the eu.cfg files - and your bash .profile file. This is what my .profile looks like under Ubuntu Linux:

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells. 
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login 
# exists. 
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples. 
# the files are located in the bash-doc package. 
 
# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask 
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package. 
#umask 022 
 
# if running bash 
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then 
    # include .bashrc if it exists 
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then 
    . "$HOME/.bashrc" 
    fi 
fi 
 
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists 
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then 
      PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" 
fi 
 
PATH="$HOME/euphoria/bin:$HOME/MENU:$PATH" 
EUINC="$HOME/euphoria/include" 
EUDIR="$HOME/euphoria" 
export PATH EUINC EUDIR 

S.D. Pringle came up with a neat work around for several of the environment variables which might come in handy:

public function eudir() 
    sequence eudirectory 
    eudirectory = locate_file( eui, getenv("PATH") ) 
    eudirectory = eudirectory[1..length(eudirectory)-(length(eui)+4)] 
     
    -- returns /home/kenneth/euphoria/  -- note the trailing slash 
    return eudirectory 
end function 
 
public constant EUDIR   =  eudir() 
public constant EUINC   =  EUDIR & "include" 
public constant EUBIN   =  EUDIR & "bin" 
public constant EUDOCS  =  EUDIR & "docs" & SLASH & "html" 
public constant EUDEMO  =  EUDIR & "demo" 

I hope this helps.

Great work! PeteE, i created a wiki page for WEE and added to the list of Projects based on Euphoria. Would you mind adding some content to it?
